About

On WeddingWire since 2007

Based in Charleston, South Carolina, our vibrant historic garden setting overlooking the Ashley River offers a breathtaking backdrop for couples to celebrate their partnership and create unforgettable memories. The property features centuries-old dramatic live oak trees draped in Spanish moss and the iconic long white bridge, which together create a fairy-tale scene. We are one of Charleston's few waterfront venues, offering a unique coastal and historic Charleston experience on the Ashley River.

Our gorgeous venue, the Carriage House, is ideal for a wide range of wedding events, whether you’re hosting a larger outdoor gathering of up to 250 guests or a more intimate celebration. Couples can take advantage of both indoor and outdoor spaces, with multiple lawn areas for ceremonies.

a literal dream come true!

We had our wedding at the Carriage House a venue within Magnolia Plantation, and it was a literal dream come true. The communication between me and Amanda the wedding coordinator was frequent and clear- her responses were immediate. This made for a really easy planning process. Even though it rained and our ceremony had to be moved inside the venue was transitioned into such a beautiful space that I didn't even think twice that my original plan wasn't happening. The Carriage House underwent renovations last year and OMG the updates are just so perfect! Thank you so much Magnolia & Amanda for such an unforgettable night!

Wonderful wedding planning experience

We got married at the Carriage House in May 2024 and had an absolutely wonderful time. The carriage house looked amazing with the most recent additions. All of the flowers were blooming and the trees were so stunning. Want to give a huge shoutout to the workers from Magnolia. They were super nice the day of the event, and took us to some of the best spots on the venue for our pictures. There were a few minor hiccups/items that we wish were different. (1) There was a lot of changeover with the event managers at Magnolia. We signed on with Magnolia 8 months leading up to our wedding, and we worked with three different managers in that time. It just made things a little difficult with communication. (2) We wish there were better signs from the parking lot to the carriage house on the day of the wedding. After parking their vehicles, a few guests had to ask around a few times to figure out where the carriage house is located. Other than those few minor items, we had a 5/5 experience.

Beautiful and romantic venue for wedding ceremony

My husband and I got married at Magnolia's last week, and it was perfect! We had our ceremony under "The Oaks," and turned out beautiful. Amanda was so helpful and kind throughout the planning process.
